While all vacuums pick up dirt, they do not pick them up equally. This is especially the case when the dirt is dog or animal hair. Animals shed on carpets, couches, beds, clothes and any other surface that will hold hair. If left unchecked, this can lead to an explosion of allergy symptoms in the homeowner and a flea infestation throughout the home. Fortunately, vacuums are available for every size pet hair cleaning job.
